Description of incident: The ball came to Cole, via Malouda, on the edge of the six yard box completely unmarked. Cole flicked the ball into the net but the referee blew for offside. To Chelsea's credit, there was very little protest.
Date of Game: Saturday 30th January 2010
Home Team:
Burnley | Away Team:
ChelseaReferee: Phil Dowd | Linesman: Andy Garratt & Trevor Massey
Decision Type: Offside | Verdict:
| Decision Difficulty: 5/5Affect on Result: None, Chelsea eventually won | Winner: Burnley | Loser: Chelsea
Players Involved: Joe Cole (Chelsea)
Summary: It was a tough call to make as Joe Cole was yards behind the last defender when the ball reached him, plus the Burnley defenders were all a distance from Cole increasing the difficulty of the judgement. But replays clearly show Cole was jut onside when Malouda touched the ball. Wrong decision, the goal should have stood.
